sütitav

Sütitav, also known as sütitav tav, is a traditional Turkish dish that is particularly popular in the Eastern Black Sea region. The name translates to "milk bread," reflecting its primary ingredient. Sütitav is a type of flatbread that is typically made from a simple dough consisting of flour, water, and sometimes a small amount of milk or yogurt. The dough is kneaded and then rolled out into a thin, oval-shaped piece. It is then cooked on a hot griddle or tava, which gives the bread its name.

The cooking process involves placing the dough on the griddle and cooking it until small bubbles form on the surface, indicating that it is ready to be flipped. Once flipped, the other side is cooked until golden brown. Sütitav is usually served warm and can be enjoyed on its own or with various toppings and accompaniments. Common accompaniments include butter, jam, honey, or cheese, which are spread on the bread before serving.

Sütitav is a staple food in Turkish cuisine and is often served as a side dish or a snack. Its simplicity and versatility make it a popular choice for both everyday meals and special occasions. The dish is a reflection of the rich culinary traditions of Turkey, particularly in regions where flatbreads play a significant role in the local diet.
